Please fix dresses!

There used to be an old adage that went along the lines of, "If you're going to do something do it right."

I'm fairly certain this game is S-E's current highest revenue generator so to give us an excuse based on lack of manpower really leaves a sour taste in my mouth. Recruit additional staff and deliver a polished product instead of giving us lines I expect to hear from MMOs in their twilight years with one remaining dev who is also in charge of fixing the photocopier, unblocking the toilet, and filling the coffee machine. Hopefully not in that order either!

So lets try this.

There are pieces of gear that cause fewer clipping issues than others, it's possible with the game engine, but not every piece is created using the same correct dimensions/physics/design. Share the gear that should be used as a basis for what works. Reply to this post with examples of long clothing, high collars etc.

Does it have less clipping? Does it not clip at all? Does it look good while standing in a breeze. Does it not clip while doing common animations like running, walking or in combat? Mention it!

The idea here is that we tell the devs what we think works. They can take what they know from making these outfits that DO work, and use that to continue making a bunch of gear that works moving forward.

Note what race you used the outfit on, talk about the name of the item or set, and what works about it. How these aspects can be applied to existing problem outfits and future gear.

For example.

On Lalafell: while the spring dress has clipping issues. The Elk pvp gear appears to have little to no issues with clipping with feet while running.
This seems to be because the back goes out more.
The Cashmere Robe has very little noticeable clipping, partly due to a shorter length and being a bit 'stiffer' with it's physics, so it doesn't droop through the feet like the spring skirt or crescent robe does.

It seems like every games on the planet still have clipping issue no matter how powerful our hardware is nowadays. so annoying.

there are a lot of easy fixes SE refuses to address as well a lot of easy ways to design and implement hair designs but refuse to add nice styles versus the 1 ugly one every 3 months, but w/e you have to deal with it.

The problem here is that 'nice' is subjective. The Dev. Team might think they are nice, or even other players. Not saying some of them aren't awful looking, but again that is just another opinion. Whatever has been released, might as well be left as is because going back and changing stuff obviously isn't worth the returns on investment. SE is still a company making money and if it isn't deemed to influence income...its not worth doing.

Almost every MMO or single player game iv played has some type of clipping

Yes, but the clipping in this game is SO BAD. For a game that is otherwise so beautiful, I do not understand why they have such glaring clipping errors. I have seen weapon sets that clip into THEMSELVES, nevermind clipping into the character or other sets of gear. And I have also seen a multitude of other games and other MMOs where a character could wear a robe without their feet cutting through the back every time they move. It is not an impossible issue to fix.

What point are you trying to make? Models not attached to the default body is only natural to clip stuff. What do you expect your character animations to do when you run into a wall? Adjust themselves so you do not clip into the wall?

Same goes for weapons. Animations are not made with all the weapons on, and new weapons are also not tested in every single animation. You can claim you think it should be tested, but that is far beyond what a company usually has time with when they have to push out new things with speed.

Also I wish the text limit wouldn't always seem to include the quote as well. So annoying to type little and yet be cock blocked by the forum due to the quoted text.

Finally, someone with a clue

Plus the anims are mo-cap.

[RickiFake02]

I wasn't talking about animations. I have seen weapons that clipped into themselves with zero animations, just "holstered" on the character, and clipping into themselves. The one that sticks out in my head is a bow/arrow combo. The bow clipped through the arrows on the character's back when the bow was holstered. Can they not simply design the weapon to at least not clip into ITSELF, regardless of the character?
